Opening: $300
Sold for: $450
Including buyer's premium
Collection of various editions of holy Kabbalistic book “Raziel HaMalach”; this book is the source of many well-known Segulot [auspicious omens]; for retention of material studied, Kabbalistic illustrations and amulets for safeguarding for women giving birth. Mere possession of the book in one’s home is a proven Segula for protection from harm and fires, as specified on title page of book. All publications from 1873 note on title page that the book was printed with glosses by Maggid of Koznitz, however these copies do not contain the glosses; apparently version of title page copied from other printings.
